Homesteads is for the villagers who don’t like the village life and would prefer to forge their own path in the quiet, but sometimes challenging and unforgiving wilds of the overworld. This mod adds five new Villagers, the Beekeeper, The Lumberjack, The Trapper, The Prospector and The Forager. As well as a variety of new structures for them to inhabit and a block for each of them to work at.

New Villagers

Say hello to the new villagers or homesteaders rather that you will find inhabiting structures in the overworld:

• The Lumberjack (Found in the Forest, Swamp and Taiga)
• The Trapper (Found in the Forest, Swamp and Taiga)
• The Beekeeper (Found in the Forest, Meadow and Taiga)
• The Prospector (Found in the Badlands and Caves)
• The Forager (Found in the Swamp and Meadow)

Each of them has a new profession and trades that help them survive in the wild.

New Trades

Each of the Homesteaders have their own specialised trades. The Lumberjack will trade saplings and wood related items. The Trapper will trade Leather, meat and animal related items. The Beekeeper trades anything related to bees and honey. The Prospector is obsessed with mining and ores and the Forager likes flowers.

New Blocks

There are five new job site blocks for the Homesteaders to work at (or any villager)

• Lumberjack's log (For the Lumberjack)
• Tanning Rack (For the Trapper)
• Honey Bottling Station (For the Beekeeper)
• Prospector's Bench (For the Prospector)
• Forager's Bench (For the Forager)

Each new block is craftable or can be found in the new structures.

The Work Bench Update

Your homestead is coming to life. The Workbench Update introduces fully interactive crafting stations that expand how you gather, refine, and produce essential materials. From practical leather tanning to honey bottling and resource prospecting, every workstation now serves a purpose in your growing settlement.

Lumberjack's log

A dedicated station for refining timber. The Woodworking Log allows you to precisely cut and shape wooden planks into their various building forms with improved efficiency.

With the Lumberjacks log you can cut one plank of wood into:

• Stairs
• Slabs
• Fences
• Fence Gates
• Doors
• Trap Doors
• Pressure Plates
• Buttons

Prospector's Bench

Sift through gravel in search of hidden riches. The Prospector’s Station allows you to carefully sort material for a chance to uncover:

• Flint
• Copper Nuggets
• Iron Nuggets
• Gold Nuggets

A slow but rewarding way to gather early metals and make every pile of gravel worth a second look.

Tanning Rack

Turn waste into worth. The Tanning Rack allows you to cure 4 Rotten Flesh into 1 Leather, a practical solution for resourceful homesteaders.

Forager’s Workbench

Process flowers and natural pigments with greater efficiency. The Forager’s Workbench extracts twice the amount of dye compared to standard crafting. Ferns can now also be crafted into green dye.

Honey Bottling Station

Collect your honey comb, bottle it later.

Place up to 3 empty bottles in the lower slots and honeycomb in the upper slot to produce bottles of honey.
